The Manor, St. Paul, Minnesota

This Gothic manor has the perfect vibe for a spooky stay. This haunted Airbnb looks a bit like a castle, with its antique furniture, spiral staircase and turret, the home has the feel of a place where ghosts would want to hang out. Rent out the guest room, if you dare. Paranormal activity in the form of “vibes” coming from one particular closet and visions of a young girl who died in the house in 1908. You should also know that the owner’s Doberman, Scorch, gets high praise from reviewers on The Manor’s Airbnb page.

This decaying mansion is another haunted Airbnb in New Orleans. The current owners have created a rather unsettling look by allowing the finishes and furnishing to naturally decay over time. The home was built in 1855, for Louise Vitry, an African-American woman, and her French consort, Archille Courcelle. Louise made waves when she was allowed to keep her home by the Louisiana Supreme Court in 1858. Perhaps you’ll run into her ghost during your stay!
